In this episode of "Chronicles," we dive into the enduring mystery of the Roanoke Colony, America's first ghost colony that vanished in the late 16th century without a trace except for the cryptic word "CROATOAN" carved into a tree. We explore various theories surrounding the fate of the settlers, from integration with local Native American tribes to more outlandinary explanations like alien abductions. Drawing on recent archaeological findings and historical records, we attempt to piece together what might have happened to the colonists, stirring the imagination with this historical enigma that continues to captivate and perplex.
